Peyote Prayer
1.
The Peyote Man prays
to an unknown mystery
he has no name for it
but life.
The Peyote Man prays
to a great light,
to the great light
to understand the light
within himself.
2.
In the morning at dawn
when the Water Bird fan is used
when the Water Song is sung
the priest's face disappears
in its place is the Water Bird
singing
perched upon the staff,
the peyote gourd beneath.
